West Bromwich Albion adopt pinstripes for 2014/15 home kit
Laurence Griffiths
West Brom, known for their their traditional blue-and-white vertical stripes, have decided to change things around for 2014/15. For the club’s primary kit, adidas and WBA have adopted the template that Colombia wore during their run at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil but with an added touch of Inter Milan.
The new shirt features a white body with a set of navy blue pinstripes that run vertically from the shoulders to the hem. The white continues onto the sleeves where it meets a wide strip of navy blue that runs from the cuffs to the collar, filling up the top of the arms and shoulders. The three adidas stripes are white while the sleeve inserts are white and blue. The sleeve cuffs mimic those inserts.
The shirt is paired with navy shorts and navy socks. The socks feature a set of thin white hoops that run around the perimeter.
The goalkeeper kit is a template that we saw a lot of in the World Cup, specifically having been worn by Manuel Neuer in the group stage. It is pretty much entirely yellow with purple inserts and adidas stripes.
The home shirt will go on sale at the beginning of August. The club have also stated that the stripes will return for next season.
